A Thrilling Story of .the Old West
BY MURRAY ILEINSTER'
SYNOPSIS.
The stage running. into Moleville
is held .up and robbed of a mine pays,
roll by Sonny I-Iolutan, who has a
habit of robbing the payrolls of the
Aztec mine.' 'Ile explains by '.saying
'he ft the real owner sof the thine.
The stage prepares to proceed, bear-
ing the two ,wounded' guards, Til -
ford, manager. of -the mine, and a
girl passenger who has openly as:
cused Holman of being a murderer
as well as a thief.
CHAPTER IL
Jake lowered his hands, bit off a
huge chew of tobacco, and climbed;
down into the road!. He bent - over
the fallen 'man and felt his breast t
and then his head, and swore.adntir-
ingly,
"Hort much, Pete?" he asked of
the other guard. "This here is) the
neatest .crease yuh ever saw. Sonny
is a sliootin' son of a gen."
"Nope" grunted the second man,
working with neckerchief and teeth
to,_, bandage his artit and stop the
bleeding,
Jake doused the fallen man with'
water and went to the other's aid. A
few minutes later he was muttering
angrily as he tested . the weight of
the boulder in the road. "I wish that.
feller could hold folks up without
gettin' so gay," be said bitterly.
-"This here's goin' to take work to
get by ."
Tilford was still motionless in the
stagecoach. The girl, her hands
clenched tightly, spoke with her
voice enforcedly even. "You take
this holdup quite calmly," she ob-
served, "It doetn't seem to bother
your"
"We're kinda used to it, ma'am," 1
said the guard. "Y' can't blame
Sonny for pinggin us. We tried right
hard to drill him. But he's a pretty
good feller, in his 'way. Ho don't aim
to ruin nobody if he can help it."
The girl shivered. "He said he'd
have killed Laurier."
"He's got right good reason to,'
cbserve1t Jake acidly. "Mistuh Til -
ford, I need yuh aid an' assistance in
removin' this here boulder." Ho
paused. "Itl'istuh Tilford."
Tilford got out of the stage -coach
There was little or no light, which
was perhaps as well for him. Ilia
face was it pasty gray, ile shoved, at
first weakly, and then with , more
strength. The guard who bad been
creased by Sonny's bullet stirred and
moved and Managed to sit up, to
stare blankly about hint.
Tcgother, Tilford and the stage
driver toppled the boulder on -its
Side. From that position it was
comparatively easy to- roll it to the
edge of the road and send it tumbs
ling down the mountain side.
The four men climbed rota the
sledge, the lately-oreased man being
helped by Jake. With a cracking
cf the long whip, the stage took up
its interrupted journey. Jake seem,
ed inexplicehly cheerful for one with
his normally- embittered tempera,
'tient. Presently he rtseevedh "Ma'-
am, Pie :right sorry this here thing
happened. but it coalda been a lot
worse. Sonny's a irritatin' soil of
a gun, but he don't never steal from
nobody, but the Aztec."
"Why doesn't be claim the nine
through the Coutts?"
"He tried it, ma'am," said Jake.
"IIe ain't got a legal leg to stand on.
But though I'll plug him if I get a
chance whilst he's holdin' me up,
otherwise l'm for him."
"Even to niurdee?"'amended the
girl
Jake chewed and spat. "That snake
Laurier, nia'ant, yes'•, he said in
sudden acidness, "Most folks agree
with me.",
The girl bit her tip. The stage-
coach rolled bn. It :reached the level
ground and picked up speed, travel-
ling at fast trot across the valley

bottom on a:road that was bock deep
in alkali dust.
A little distance :out ;they caste
upon a pail' of cowboys weaving • in
their saddles on their way back to
their ranches with the previous day's
mail. Other riders, later and' thirs-
tier, were tiding in. 'And suddenly-
there
uddenlythere were lights•` to right and left
and soutbretoed Mexicans and cow-
ponies in` rows against hitching
racks, and glaring lamps in saloons
and stores and tinny music from the
Roaring Zephyr and its saloon and
dance -hall competitors.
Moleville was not e. large town. It
owed its existence first to the freak
uncropping of quartz ore that placed
the Aztec mine nearly in the centre
of the'Gila Valley, and second to the
large and small ranches that were
scattered through the mainvalley
and the . tributary canyons that
wound . into the mountains. Aside
from these two sources •of trade,: it
had no' reason for existing..
Horsemen reined aside to give the
stage roadway, and some waved to
Jake Hornaby 'on the box. The in-
juries of the two guars were not so
obvious as to be noticed fromthe
street, especially' since the only light-
ing came from the welcoming -glows
of saloons and dance halls.
Jake spoke abruptly. "Ma'am," he
said curtly, "there's vitt' to be a
lot o' fuss when we pull up an' tell
'em that Sonny's held us up again.
But you remember what I told yuh.
That there Laurier feller that grab-
bed the Aztec an' draw Sonny on the
read, he's a snake, ma'am, a snake! -
Yuh'll be sympathiziti' with Sonny
an' cussin' out that Laurier yuhself
when yuh know the whole story." •
He reined in. 'Mexican handlers
came cut for the horses. The girl in
the stagecoach stood up and stepped
out en Tilforces arnc, "It's hardly
likely," she said coldly to the stage
driver. Her face was very pale, "I
carne to Moleville on account of this
particular outlaw. He has practic-
ally ruined the Aztec mine, And 1
happen to be the Laurier, the snake
that owns it!"
Jake's jaw dropped. Ile stared,
"Lordy!" he said weakly. "Lardy!"
He scratched 'his head and grinned'
sheepishly. "Lordy, ma'am," he said
at last, "there is sure goin' to be
some scrap between you an' him
nra'an, an' it's goin' to be kinda di-
vertin' to watehl"
Jake Hcrnaby was not alone in
eimsidering that it would, be divert-
ing to watch the setae between Son•
ny Holman 'and Janet Laurier over
the Aztec mine. All of Moleville
chuckled at the prospect, Opinion 1r
the town was nearly evenly divided a-
bout Sonny, anyhow. Most admitted
that he had, a moral right to the
mine, but not everybody approved of
his method of asserting. it.
Itis uncle had been itt partnership
with another desert rat when they
came upon the outeropping of ere
that was new the Aztec. They filed'
upon it in due and proper form. One
of the oldsters Went to Denver to
raise capital. Ile carried a power of
attorney front, his partner so he
could sign any necessary paeans. .
Put, in those old days, he did not
return with gond news. Instead
strangers carne to the valley to take
over the claim. They Produced what
seemed to' -be an authentic trate-ter
of the thine to one L:aun•ier, whicl-
wae certainly signed by the partner
of the older Holman. Legally, the
document was airtight, But the
other desert rat retuned breathing
fire and slaughter, claimed that his
signature bad ibeen obtained by fraud
and while he was drunk, and in main-
taining his claim got shot by a
member of the usurping party. He
died in the arms of Sonny Holman's
uncle. fiercely declaring that he
hadn't meant to sell the mine, and
left his share to his partner,
The partner, Sonny's uncle, was
killed itt turn while grimly camped
on what he" still considered his pro-
perty. A 'deputy marshall had been
assigned to evict Itim, but the old
prospector's body was found with a
.38 rifle bullet in the •batik, whereas
the deputy marshall had fired a .45
revolverfrom the front; and it had
taken a certain amount of effort to
smooth over the discrepancy. That
had been done. Now the ming was
a steadyi »reducer. Its levels went,
down ttitelve hundred. feet. Its owe
Mill concentrated the ore and its
own tvagons hauled that ore 'to the
railroad twenty miles away. `It hail
become the centre and indeed the -
reason for the existence ttf Moleville
And Sonny Tolman, as the only heir
of old Pete Holman, desert rat and
hardrock man, claimed, it for his 'own
and set out grimly to. -wrest it froth
its legal owners.
There was where the opinion ,of
Moleville abruptly •divided into two
Parts. It was agreed that Sonny
had first tried the courts, and bad
failed ignominously-'to make out a
,ease., Thee original deed transferring
the thine . was valid, on its' face, and'
it was now. i'mpossibie to Prove that
it had been sighed by a• than who
did 'not know what: be` was aping.
Sonny's -suit ,was thrown out .of
court. And Snnny,;instead of instit-
uting 'other suits and expen•sive leg'
al processes for which he 'had no
stoney; strolled, out of the eont't
when his case ,was dismissed, forked
a pony,'. and, rode sixty miles before
the next -daybreak. Then he ' walk-
ed into the office of the mine with
a six-gun in. each hand and went out,
again 'with the month's. 'payroll un-
der his arm.
THURS., 'APRIL 7, 1932 -
Bit had done so for three years. He.
had collected approximately the net
profits o£ the mine, though by six-
gun instead of law. On the whole,
Moleville did not consider him un-
justified as far as that' went. But
public opinion split widely and de-
finitely on the subject of ore' steal'
ing,
Those who considered that he only
robbed paytoils and bullion ship-
naents were more or less in sympathy.
niith him, Those who believed him
an ore thief to boot looked :on hint
as no better than --any other bandit.
And the arrival of Janet Laurier on
the whole tended -to swing public :op-
inion against him.
The story of . her encounter with
Sonny lest nothing in the telling..
Moleville chuckled; or if Mexican,
swore `adoaa ringly by variegated
saints. And Moleville, too, did some
calculating and figured accurately
that though she might be the Law,
ler who owned the mine, she was not
the Laurier who had given the two
old prospectors a dirty deal fifteen
years before, She had been a mere
child when. that teak . place.
Tilford took Janet to the sheriff,
.who ' received her expansively in his
dusty office.There were ancient
"Wanted" bills on the walls, some
ornate Mexican spurs in one corner,
an elle ding duty as a water cooler,
and close .by the sheriff's rifle in its
saddle bolster there were capacious
canteens and a plaited horsehair
rope, to be Coiled around one's blan-
ket at night as supposed insurance
against overfriendly rattlers.
Tanet received his welo,me with
a trace' of suspicion, as if site had
been warned against too etmiplete
an a' 'entaitce of his friendship. She
explained her mission gravely.
The sheriff's forehead puckered.
"Sonny's right hard to get held :of
ma'am," he bald her. He's got a
lotto. friends. A IPI while ago -- a
year or so now---feelin' was right
high against hint. Somebody was
usin' his name an' way of workin' to
pull some mighty dirty tricks. Held
up a couple stores an' shota Mexican
or so besides, The whole county
was after Sonny theft, But Sonny,
be went ridin' over Arizona way an'
he came back _with his own 'half-
brother. An' he made that there
half-brother confess to the whole
thing; ma'am, an' that hombre was
glad to get to the pert where Sonny
eouldn't land on hint no more. Folks
was kinda ashamed of suspectin'
Sonny after that, an' they're extra
friendly to him ba make up for it"
"But be is a lawbreaker," insisted
Janet coolly. "He is an outlaw and
a thief'."
"I'1l admit the law-breakln',
ma'am," agreed the sheriff. "I'm
just satin' he's got a lot o' friends,
an' be beung back a boss from Ar -
keno, name of Gunpowder, that's a
lot o' help in gettin' away. Pm 'try-
ini' to explain that he's right hard
to catch."
"It's no use beating about the
bush," said Janet coolly. "Ivry fam-
ily has been unfortunate lately. The
income front the mine is impot;tant
to us. This man is the cause of our
loss of it. So I will give a thousand
dollars reward for his arrest"
The sheriff fingered his chin med-
itatively. "I wish you'd hold off on
that a while, ma'am," he said slew-
ly. "There's a lot of folks think
Sonny is stealth' ore. He ain't, He's
aloin' his dtn•ttdest to stop it. He
figures those ore thieves are stealin'
from him, 'feelin' as he does that the
mine is his. Sonny, he's worlds' on
a right promisin' clue just now,"
Janet's chin ' set firmly. "You're
in communieipation with him?" she
asked curtly. '
The sheriff smiled faintly. "Not
exae'ly, ma'am," he denied gently.
"1f I knew where to fin'Sonny Pd
have to arrest him. But once or
twice he's called .me up on the
phone an' talked things over with •
me. He's helped me out consider-
able, now an' then."
"And you follow Kis advice in'
trying to' catch the ore thieves?"
Scorn undiluted was in Janet's tone.
"Why, yes, ma'am," saidthe slier'.
iff mildly. "I know Sunny right
well. I've known hint since •rte was
knee high to a grasshopper:"
"But he's the ore thief himself!"
said Janet crisply. "I wish to offer
a reward for him. If you won't try
to catch
"Did Mistuh Tilford say I didn't
try to catch him?" asked, the sheriff
softly.
Tilford, squirmed uneasily: • Janet
glanced at hint and bit her lip. "No.
It's sty •own idea," she retorted de-
fiantly. . "It's clear enough. If you
won't try to uphold law and order—P
"Excuse me, ma'am," said the
Sheriff very politely. "I was sayin'
I'd like to hold up that •reward offer
ti }while, because ' it looks like Sonny
is right oft they trail of that there 'ore
stealin'gong. An'. ma'am,' that gang
has killed a couple Mexicans that it
die n't need to; 'an' it's carried off a
couple, :Mexican. girls.''
-"You mean that Holman is a wan-
ton murderer and a kidnapper as well
as a thief." said Janet fiercely. "I
oi'fer 'a ;thousand dollars reward
for his arrest. - Wi11 you post that, or
shall I?"
"Pll..epread the news, ma'am,"
said the sheriff quietly .
"Dead or ,alive!". added Tilford.
The sheriff gazed at him with eves
that went through, to the wall be-
yond. "I reign," he observed, "that's
pp to Miss .Laurier.
"I'm taking Mr. Tilford's advice,"
she said coldly. 'You inay include
that in the offer."
The sheriff frowned. "All right,
ma'am," be said soberly. "I'll say.
that you'll pay a thousan' dollars for
Sonny Holman, dead or alive, Deliv-
ered to
You, ma'am?"
S}ie flushed, and then went quite
pale. "As you like. He'd kilt me if
t' were• a man. Perhaps be will try
to do so anyhow. I have to use what
weapons I can."
The sheriff -stood up. "I see the
way you feel, ma'am. "I been tiyin'
to catch Sonny, an' I'tn goin' to keep
on tryin'. But I promise you, ma'-
am, that if leas the sheriff, catch
Sonny Holman, as an outlaw, you
won't have to pay out no reward."
Janet's cheeks were pink as she
rode through the dusty Iittle town
back toward the mine. Occasional
lounging figures doffed sombreros.
Once a half-breed''Mexican grinned
familiarly, at Tilford as he 'made
Janet a sweeping bow. Tilford gave
the ratan a furious glance, but ig-
nored him otherwise..
They came to the mine, a huge
bulk cf buildings . rearing upward
front the plain. The adobe dwellings
of the workers, who were mostly
Mexicans, crowded close up to the
enclosing fence on one side, but on
the other the valley swept clear aw-
ay to the foothills with the moun-
tains beyond. Tiny specks could be
seen here and there, which took
th^ught to recognize as horsemen.
aid a long way off a cloud of rolling
dust bespoke a herd of cattle on the
move. They would be driven over
the stage road to Leftover and the
cattle pens of the siding.
Buzzards wheeled Lazily, `high a-
loft. Baking heat swept in from the
valley floor in waves. Except Inc.
the muffled clanking and rumbling
etthe machinery in the• shaft house,
,however, there was no ,sound at all.
Moiivilie was somnolently still be-
neath the noonday sun,
Janet_ reined in but dial not dis
mount.
"You see :: what I'm up against,"
said: Tilford uneasily., "Even the
sheriff was finding- excuses fol? I) oh-
tnan,"
saw that," said the girl briefly.
She looked fir away, toward the
mountains. She swung around to.
him again. s"Sono time ago," she
said evenly, "you urged` that we ,hire`
some`guands, white men. I lathered
that they were to be gunfighters."
"Yes." Tilford was at first nein
'mobs, -then eager. "I know of half
• a dozen amen I can get. , Good men
with a gun."
"Hired murderers," • said. Janet
eoldly. "They'll sell their services to
the highest bidder, I suppose."
"Not exactly," said Tilford un-
easily, "butthey would—er--I'.
"Hire then," commanded Janet
coldly. "One outlaw is terrorizing
the whole county, froth what you tell
me. 1 aim going to fight fire with
fire. I've got to. get the mine on a
paying basis." Her tone had chang-
ed oddly ,on the last sentence. She
bit her lip, and when shespoke a-
gain her voiee was again level.
"Hire them, please. You have my
authority."
She wheeled her mount and rode
away, to the little bungalow that
had been buil£ for. Tilford as resi-
dent superintendent, and which she
had.pre•empted fpr her own use dur-
ing her stay. She dismounted and
went inside, her lips held tightly to-
gether. But. when the door had clos-
ed behind her she caught her breath
and clenched her fists as if fighting
back tears.
"I—S—" She stopped and ex-
claimed
xclaimed irrelevantly, "I won't cry!
I won't!"
Then, womanlike, she did. But
presently she found pen and paper
and went to the small desk Tilford had
used. She began to write a letter.
and if her expression at tines belied
the optimistic words she was writing
she Wrote on cheerfully nevertheless.
Dear Father,
Everything looks much better.
now that I'm nn the spot. I just
had a talk with the sheriff and
he's anxious to eo-operate with
rate. IIe hinted that a reward
would make people more anxious
bo help him, so I have offered
one thousand dollars, Mr. Ti]-
fot•d seems very capable and
courageous, belt handicapped by,
insufficient authority. With ane
to back him` up now, I feel sure
that everything will - go along
nicely.
She wrote ion, an omtindstic note
with absolutely no word of the
holdup of 'the day before, or of her
encounter with the highwayman. It
•wasjustthe sort.of letter to encour,
agea badly worried . or frightened
man in desperate need of hope. The
.letter did not contain a word that
was not hopeful—or' . a' detail that
was completely true.

PUGILISTIC FIDDLERS, *THESE
Just after Earl U.nd.er-
wood, well-known' lVtorris Township
fiddler, had 'sawed. off a number for
an." .old-time square dance at Bluevale
hall, he was approached by Joseph
Smith and Jack Thyne, fiddlers also, •
with a request to let them strut
their stuff. Underwood refused..
He said they would have to see a 'the '
manager, An argument and some
jostling culminated in a punch' de-
livered to Underwood's jaw, causing
a . double fracture, The dance came
to a sudden halt and Dr. Stewart
was called` in. This came out in
police court at Wingham Thursday
when some 100 citizens crowded the
court rooms, to hear charges of as-
sault against Thynne and Smith.
The charge against the former was
dismissed, bet Smith was committed
for trial in a higher court. Under-
wood did not know who delivered
the blow which knocked 'him out
but several witnesses said Smith
was the pugilist and that Thynne
was innocent. Smith is out on $1,000
bail.

The World Owes Much
To Advertisers
All of us would be poorer if there were no
advertisements in our newspapers --poorer in poc-
ket, mind, comfort, culture,
Advertisements have been called the "Poor
man's University," for they are wonderful teachers
—wonderful mirrors of the world's scientific and
cultural development.
It is advertisements which keep us informed
about what is being accomplished by the world's
best engineers, chemists, research workers anti
technicians, in every field of human endeavour ---
itt the realms of radio, motor -car and tire manufaa
tiring, food preparation, remedial preparations,
domestic and personal -hygiene, building materials
and construction; and agricultural economy, home
easements and beautifieation.
If there were no 'advertisements in our news-
papers and magazines, we'd all slip back—back to
the levels of life of 50 and 100 years ago. We'd
read less, move about less, ]ower our living stand-,
ands, be content with poorer machines, eat coarser
foods and wear coarser clothing, live in unattractive
homes, do a vast amount of distasteful labor, wear
ill-fitting shoes, see ugliness everywhere, have more
illness, meet with mere .accidents, have more tooth-
aches; and our stores would be very dull places in-
deed.
To blot out advertisements would be like
blotting out the stm—tthe source of light and ener-
gy.
.Be grateful to advertisers,' and show your
gratitude by buying what they bring so faithfully
to your attention --in this and other newspapers.
And always remember that Advertisers are
world civilizers and your true frierds1
